Thunderbird Club

[Gaolee]

Good tune, good bass track.

Sid probably didn't play it!

Finding a good band name that hasn't already been taken is nearly impossible today. Bands with someone's name "Jonny Gracko and the ____" are in like flint, unless that person has a common name. Otherwise - most band names out there are lame at best, primarily because all the good names have been taken.

beats "The John Michael Experience" by a bit......

Steve Jones played bass on all of Never Mind the Bollocks (Sid was, fortunately, out sick), but Glenn Matlock was the one who originally played it.

I liked Flint. And Matt Helm. But my main fav was UNCLE.

 

[5StringBlues]

The '60s, especially mid-late '60s were totally spy-centric. The soundtracks reflected what was started by the James Bond series. A late '60s fave is by The Walker Brothers. Scott was offered the James Bond song gig but passed on it - he and Dusty Springfield were king & queen in the UK then and should have each done one of the Bond themes. Dusty did "The Look of Love" which was in the original Casino Royal, the non-franchise Bond movie later re-made with Danial Craig as Bond. I totally dig it, but I'm not certain Cherie or Kirstin would be interested in singing "The Female of the Species is DeadlierThan the Male"!

Just scored some Rush tickets for the newly announced Cincy show in October. Looking forward to seeing them again! It's been 15 years for me.

Have a lot of fun, Chuck - I'm more than just a little jealous!

Just found out that Robert Romanos, who played Mike Damone in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, has been a musician since he was a kid. He plays bass in his current band. Here are a couple of videos of him with a Thunderbird.

Matt Helm band name tie in of course would be Dino and the RatPaq.

Except the trio were neither brothers or named Walker - more a stage name/persona like The Rightious Brothers. They took it one step further by using Walker as their last name.

Crotchpot Cooks
Industrial Waist
Chow Mane
Betty and the Burps
Dolly's Chest
Chester and the Drawers
That Crappy Band
Crawdad Anarchy

That first one is a wee bit disturbing.

You wouldn't believe how many times I've been told "last chance".



Somebody up there likes me, I guess.
